Journey

1.

Amalfi Coast, Italy

The views out of the bus window during the bus ride along the Amalfi Coast in Italy were spectacular.

2.

Slow Boat, Laos

The choice was either a speed boat out of Laos, or a two day slow boat ride along the Mekong.

3.

USA Road Trip

Leaving San Francisco, we took our hire car to the highways. The road trip took us to Yosemite, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Death Valley.

4.

Copper Canyon, Mexico

The train ride through the copper canyon region of Mexico

5.

Camel Trek, Jaisalmer India

Three days, two nights travelling around the Jaisalmer region of India, on the back of a camel, with nowhere to wash and no change of clothes. Yes it was fun.

6.

Guatemala Bus Ride

Any bus ride in Central America is a memorable experience, though our trip from Panajachel to Chichicastenango was especially memorable. We were squashed on as usual, sharing hard wooden seats with the locals, while the bus was driven at high speed along the windy mountain roads.

7.

Corsica, France

We spent several days taking our borrowed car though the windy mountain roads of Corsica.

8.

Indian Autorickshaw

The day's journey stated with a 2.5 hours bus ride to a small town called Biahur, and after a 45c lunch from a bus-stop snack-bar (for the two of us), we hired an auto-rickshaw to take us to Khatia National Park, thinking that it would just be another usual ride. We did not realise that it was a 1.5 hour cross country journey along dirt tracks through rural vilages, including crossing muddy rivers and pushing the vehicle up steep dirt tracks. We even had a couple of young Indian hitchhikers joining us for the ride.

9.

Egyptian Nile Cruise

Any visit to Egypt would not be complete without a cruise down the Nile.

10.

Australian Nullabor

Driving across the flat, treeless desert centre of Australia is a classic Aussie journey.
